:00:00. > :00:00.Cup captain, on how he will get even with Europe. And, Michael Schumacher

:00:00. > :00:16.leaves hospital. That is in Sportsday in 15 minutes.

:00:17. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:23. > :00:27.us tomorrow. With me are Pensions Consultant, Ros Altmann and Evening

:00:28. > :00:31.Standard Columnist, Mihir Bose. All of the front pages are in. Let's

:00:32. > :00:33.have a look at them. The Telegraph says the Prime Minister, David

:00:34. > :00:36.Cameron, has warned that independence is a leap in the dark

:00:37. > :00:38.that would punish future generations.

:00:39. > :00:41.'Party leaders take the high road,' says the Guardian, reflecting on the

:00:42. > :00:45.decision of the three main party leaders to travel to Scotland

:00:46. > :00:48.tomorrow in pursuit of 'No' votes. The Independent says Britain faces a

:00:49. > :00:51.constitutional crisis after a poll for the paper suggests Labour MPs in

:00:52. > :00:54.Scotland would help clinch a victory at the next general election even if

:00:55. > :00:56.Scotland votes to become an independent country.

:00:57. > :00:59.The Metro leads with the story that Shaun Wright, the Police and Crime

:01:00. > :01:00.Commissioner responsible for Rotherham, has been warned special

:01:01. > :01:04.powers will be called for to force powers will be called for to force

:01:05. > :01:13.him out of his job if he carries on refusing to quit.

:01:14. > :01:16.The Times leads on the response from Buckingham Palace over any question

:01:17. > :01:21.that the Queen could be brought into the debate on Scottish independence.

:01:22. > :01:24.The Scotsman has a picture of Alex Salmond who claims the campaign to

:01:25. > :01:29.keep Scotland within the UK has fallen apart.

:01:30. > :01:34.The Sun also leads on the story that the three main party leaders are in

:01:35. > :01:37.Scotland tomorrow to rally votes. And the Daily Mail says David

:01:38. > :01:41.Cameron will give the people of Scotland a simple message during his

:01:42. > :01:51.trip there that the rest of the UK desperately wants them to stay.

:01:52. > :02:00.In that vein, the Sun's FrontPage asked the audience, it is 50`50, now

:02:01. > :02:10.comes call to phone a friend `` front page. This is a call from

:02:11. > :02:19.David Blunkett saying, make sure Scotland stays. Interesting piece.

:02:20. > :02:26.It is a great contrast with how the Scottish Sun is showing it. The

:02:27. > :02:35.Scottish Sun seems to be heading towards Scotland going independent.

:02:36. > :02:41.What the Scottish Sun shows is the saltire, listed above number ten, it

:02:42. > :02:47.seemed the first time around it didn't work because the rope got

:02:48. > :02:54.stuck and the headline here is, No campaign is flagging `` Number Ten.

:02:55. > :02:56.There is a difference between the Sun in the south and the Sun in

:02:57. > :03:03.Scotland in how the story is represented. That is interesting.

:03:04. > :03:07.First of all, there is the Scottish Sun that everyone can see. Another

:03:08. > :03:14.poll disaster. Going to the Sun in England and the rest of the UK, this

:03:15. > :03:20.is an interesting tactic, getting those people in Wales, Northern

:03:21. > :03:28.Ireland, to phone up friends in Scotland and convince them not to

:03:29. > :03:32.vote yes. That is trying to tap into the emotions, we want you as part of

:03:33. > :03:37.our family, we are your friends, don't break away from us. Its

:03:38. > :03:41.politicians saying, we haven't been able to connect with people, let's

:03:42. > :03:49.try and see if ordinary people can connect with people in Scotland.

:03:50. > :03:53.Most Britons want Scotland to stay. Most of us in England want Scotland

:03:54. > :04:01.to say. We can't quite understand why they are feeling this desperate

:04:02. > :04:06.need to break away. The Sun is almost saying, we think we might

:04:07. > :04:12.have lost. They always want to be on the winning side. There are these

:04:13. > :04:20.attempts to say, let's try and do something. Why leave it so late? We

:04:21. > :04:27.should not underestimate a feeling in the rest of the UK. I have met

:04:28. > :04:33.people who have said, if they want to go, let them go. Most people I

:04:34. > :04:41.know Carden match in Scotland would break away and don't want it to

:04:42. > :04:44.happen. If we go back to the Scottish Sun, the Scottish saltire

:04:45. > :05:01.which they couldn't get above Number Ten. We saw the situation in

:05:02. > :05:07.clawback with two weeks to go `` Quebec. The Prime Minister panicked

:05:08. > :05:13.and said, we have got to do something about this, we could lose

:05:14. > :05:19.the whole of Quebec. They put out an offensive to convince those in

:05:20. > :05:24.Quebec to stay by saying, we don't want to lose you, they talked about

:05:25. > :05:28.nationhood and a united country, all of the language that the Yes

:05:29. > :05:37.campaign is using in Scotland, they used it for the No campaign. Is that

:05:38. > :05:45.what we are finally seeing now? Yes, and hopefully it will work for

:05:46. > :05:50.the No campaign. The impression is, it has come about not as any planned

:05:51. > :05:55.strategy. Not as though someone has sat down and said, this is what we

:05:56. > :05:59.need to do. It is a response to events. If you are responding and

:06:00. > :06:04.reacting rather than guiding you are unlikely to reach the conclusion you

:06:05. > :06:11.want. That's the worry. That work in Canada. The Canadian situation isn't

:06:12. > :06:14.similar. There was the fact of the US with a different view and things

:06:15. > :06:19.like that. Whereas Scotland has played this card, we are part of the

:06:20. > :06:25.EU and think like that. It's quite a different proposition. One hopes for

:06:26. > :06:32.the sake of the UK that it works. At, the political leadership so far

:06:33. > :06:35.has been wrongfooted by Alex Salmond `` butter. Maybe, Alex Salmond is

:06:36. > :06:41.trying to make the most of it, having been so far behind in the

:06:42. > :06:46.polls `` but. Plenty in Scotland hope it doesn't work. You would hope

:06:47. > :06:48.that we would have learned from what happened in Canada and taken some of

:06:49. > :06:53.those messages on board because this is a bit of a rerun. We knew it was

:06:54. > :07:05.a possibility. Somehow, the campaign didn't take into account. Don't drag

:07:06. > :07:08.me into this, says the Queen. The palace response rebukes politicians

:07:09. > :07:15.over calls for the monarch to intervene. Suggestions he has spoken

:07:16. > :07:21.to David Cameron about the possibility that Scotland could go

:07:22. > :07:25.`` Monarch. The the Palace says... The Queen is right to stay at this

:07:26. > :07:29.and I think she is angry that politicians, who were supposed to be

:07:30. > :07:34.sorting this out and dealing with this, I coming to her and saying,

:07:35. > :07:41.please help us. Can you intervene `` are. That's not David Cameron. No,

:07:42. > :07:48.no, no, it is a general message from Parliament. She is right to stay

:07:49. > :07:52.above this and say, this is not my role or position. I am sure she

:07:53. > :07:58.would very much like this to succeed. I was going to say, do you

:07:59. > :08:05.think that she is fuming behind the scenes? I am certain that she would

:08:06. > :08:11.want the UK to stay intact and stay united. If there is a yes vote,

:08:12. > :08:18.which is possible, if Scotland says at the moment, they would accept the

:08:19. > :08:22.Queen, but there is a factor in the SNP, which is Republican, who knows,

:08:23. > :08:29.after the Queen, Scotland might decide that it doesn't want a

:08:30. > :08:34.monarchy. There are consequences for the monarchy that has to be

:08:35. > :08:39.considered. And consequences for the UK. John Major highlighted them.

:08:40. > :08:46.What would happen to the UK's Security Council seat? The Queen

:08:47. > :08:50.looks furious in the photo. A day after announcing she is going to

:08:51. > :08:54.have a new great grandchild, she looks furious. Let's stay with the

:08:55. > :09:03.front page of the Times. UK forces won three bases to fight ISIS. ``

:09:04. > :09:09.want. There is a call for three bases, one in the UAE, one in Omagh

:09:10. > :09:18.on and one in Bahrain to have engagement in the Middle East for UK

:09:19. > :09:21.troops `` Oman. We have seen politicians in the UK who did not

:09:22. > :09:24.anticipate something going wrong and they are now scrambling and saying,

:09:25. > :09:29.we have got to do something differently. Whether or not it

:09:30. > :09:36.works, I don't know, this is so frightening. We are getting a speech

:09:37. > :09:41.from President Obama tomorrow, outlining his strategy to tackle

:09:42. > :09:49.Islamist militants in Syria and Iraq. We get a sense with this front

:09:50. > :09:54.page, if of course it is true, that there is a momentum building towards

:09:55. > :09:59.some kind of concerted military strategy to deal with these

:10:00. > :10:04.extremists. Obama took a long time. Initially, about ten days ago, he

:10:05. > :10:08.said he had no strategy. We must go back to what Western policy has been

:10:09. > :10:14.in the Middle East, and ask the question, did Western leaders think

:10:15. > :10:28.that going into Iraq, and other initiatives, out of the time, hoping

:10:29. > :10:31.Kadhafi would leave, did they think out the consequences of who they

:10:32. > :10:38.were supporting and encouraging `` Gaddafi. One raises questions about

:10:39. > :10:47.policy in the Middle East. Time now. You can't have a military solution

:10:48. > :10:50.to this. In the name of religion, doing things that are outrageous.

:10:51. > :10:57.You cannot just have military reaction. It has got to be beyond

:10:58. > :11:04.the military to deal with it, politically if you like, you know,

:11:05. > :11:09.at a philosophical level as we make sure that we don't have jihadis from

:11:10. > :11:12.this country going there. That is precisely why the speech from

:11:13. > :11:17.President Obama is coming tomorrow, two days after a unity that has been

:11:18. > :11:22.formed in Baghdad so the sense if they are as a framework in which the

:11:23. > :11:28.West can operate. Let's go to the Metro. If you won't go, we will make

:11:29. > :11:31.you, this is Shaun Wright of the current Police and Crime

:11:32. > :11:34.Commissioner for South Yorkshire, who was of course the head of

:11:35. > :11:44.children's services during the dreadful scandal in Rotherham. 1400

:11:45. > :11:48.children were abused. What the MPs are saying is, if you don't

:11:49. > :11:51.voluntarily resign, and he has come under tremendous pressure to resign

:11:52. > :11:55.and he has refused, clinging to his job, the home affairs committee

:11:56. > :12:00.said, we will pass emergency messes to force Iraq. `` emergency measures

:12:01. > :12:03.to force you out. The public is outraged at what happened and so

:12:04. > :12:13.concerned, there is this feeling that there should be some

:12:14. > :12:17.accountability. Surely. After all the pain and suffering that was

:12:18. > :12:20.caused. We don't want this ever to happen again. We don't want anyone

:12:21. > :12:24.in charge to think it is right to turn a blind eye. The point about

:12:25. > :12:27.the Police and Crime Commissioner is that they were voted by the public

:12:28. > :12:31.and only the public could get rid of them unless there is gross criminal

:12:32. > :12:34.offence that was carried out. That hasn't happened. That hasn't

:12:35. > :12:39.happened, but you have the question of accountability. We believe in

:12:40. > :12:45.this country that if on your watch, it has happened, you take

:12:46. > :12:48.responsibility. If you don't take responsibility, it raises questions

:12:49. > :12:54.about why you are a public official. If you cannot say, I may not have

:12:55. > :12:58.been responsible as an individual, but because I managed the whole

:12:59. > :13:02.affair, I therefore must fall on my sword otherwise the whole basis of

:13:03. > :13:10.public life in this country is being violated and changed. OK. Stating

:13:11. > :13:30.with the Metro, Apple unveils a smartwatch. They have had a day of

:13:31. > :13:34.unveiling new things `` staying. The new iPhone six has come out. Bigger

:13:35. > :13:42.and faster. Unfortunately, they have some technical problems. It is in

:13:43. > :13:47.the business section as well. That is slightly embarrassing. After they

:13:48. > :13:51.couldn't get the technology to work, they had to hand out pictures to the

:13:52. > :13:58.journalists waiting to see this great new technology. They have had

:13:59. > :14:03.problems, haven't they? Their balance sheet is rather healthy, it

:14:04. > :14:06.has to be said. But after the death of Steve Jobs, the founder and the

:14:07. > :14:11.icon of the company, that they have not been able to find their feet in

:14:12. > :14:14.the marketplace and new watch is the first new product they have brought

:14:15. > :14:20.out for years. Other companies have already made this kind of thing,

:14:21. > :14:24.brought this kind of thing out. To call it a smartwatch. Looking at the

:14:25. > :14:29.picture... Smart is not the first word that springs to mind. It looks

:14:30. > :14:35.like a load of old nonsense. It does. This sort of watch that I

:14:36. > :14:40.would want to work. The whole question is... You have an iconic

:14:41. > :14:44.figure departing, the man who made the company and went beyond the

:14:45. > :14:48.company, the symbol of technology, and I think that Apple is struggling

:14:49. > :14:53.still to find its feet, to find it strategy. These are, if you like,

:14:54. > :14:58.other years when they bring out a number of products, none of which

:14:59. > :15:04.will work, and hopefully in five or six years, they might finally become

:15:05. > :15:07.an Apple which we say, they have found a successor to Steve Jobs. We

:15:08. > :15:13.have the end it there. It has been great having you with us. Many

:15:14. > :15:14.thanks for that. Stay with us now on BBC News because it is time for

:15:15. > :15:29.Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm

:15:30. > :15:32.Katie Gornall. Our headlines this evening: Baled Out ` Wales need the

:15:33. > :15:39.world's most expensive footballer to avoid a massive upset against

:15:40. > :15:42.Andorra in their European qualifier. Michael Schumacher leaves hospital

:15:43. > :15:45.nearly ten months after his skiing accident ` but his family say he

:15:46. > :15:46.faces a long and difficult road
